I wanted to shoot something during the day as I really wasn't expecting such a lovely sunset over the poppies (thank you all so much for all the lovely comments by the way!)
So when the clouds and light got a little bit more interesting we found ourselves here. Tin mines just say Cornwall to me and I'm sure I came here on a school trip, mind you it was 1976! Hopefully this mine does pre-date my childhood! I would love to come back here for a moody sunset or a stormy day.
This was followed by the obligatory cream tea but I am pleased to report that less food was consumed then my 2019 visit!

Das Five Boats ist ein Bürogebäude im Innenhafen von Duisburg direkt an der Buckelbrücke und dem Hitachi Power Office.
Das 2004 fertiggestellte, siebenstöckige Bürogebäude wurde vom Stardesigner Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners aus London entworfen, die Detailplanung stammt vom deutschen Architekturbüro Bahl und Partner, die Projektleitung hatte die Kölbl Kruse GmbH, die Bauausführung stammt von der Bilfinger Berger AG, die Baukosten betrugen 50 Millionen Euro. Vorgabe war möglichst vielen Büros eine Anbindung an das Wasser zu ermöglichen. Durch die ovale Form der fünf einzelnen Bootskörper und die Auffächerung nebeneinander haben fast alle Büros einen Ausblick auf den Innenhafen bzw. die Innenstadt von Duisburg. Die 35 Büroetagen sind alle identisch geschnitten und modular aufgebaut, sodass eine sehr flexible Nutzung möglich ist. In den hinteren, nur sechsgeschossigen Quertrakten sind die Technik- und Versorgungsräume untergebracht. Die gesamte Bürofläche beträgt 22.000 m². Mieter ist die Betriebskrankenkasse Novitas BKK.
Im Erdgeschoss sind Einzelhandelsgeschäfte und Gastronomie auf 1.500 m² untergebracht. Im Untergeschoss befinden sich 175 Tiefgaragenstellplätze.
Nachts erleuchten die vier hinteren Quertrakte mittels LED-Technik in unterschiedlichen Farben und strahlen die Wellaluminiumflächen der Bootskörper an. Die insgesamt 660 m² großen Beleuchtungsfläche wurde pro Verbindungstrakt in zwanzig Felder aufgeteilt, deren Farbverläufe oder Lichtstimmungen frei programmiert werden können. Das Lichtkonzept entwickelte die spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
The Five Boats is an office building in the inner harbor of Duisburg directly at the Buckelbrücke and the Hitachi Power Office.
The seven-storey office building, completed in 2004, was designed by the star designer Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners from London, the detailed planning came from the German architects Bahl und Partner, the project was managed by Kölbl Kruse GmbH, the construction work came from Bilfinger Berger AG, the construction costs amounted to 50 million Euro. The requirement was to enable as many offices as possible to be connected to the water. Due to the oval shape of the five individual hulls and the fact that they are spread out next to each other, almost all offices have a view of the inner harbor or the city center of Duisburg. The 35 office floors all have an identical layout and are modular in structure, so that they can be used very flexibly. The technical and supply rooms are housed in the rear transverse wings, which are only six stories high. The total office space is 22,000 m². The tenant is the company health insurance company Novitas BKK.
Retail shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor on 1,500 m². There are 175 underground parking spaces in the basement.
At night, the four rear transverse wings are illuminated in different colors using LED technology and illuminate the corrugated aluminum surfaces of the hull. The total of 660 m² of lighting area was divided into twenty fields per connecting tract, whose color gradients or lighting moods can be freely programmed. The lighting concept was developed by spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.

In December of 2015 I'd taken my photographic hobby to new heights. A month earlier, I began processing in HDR. I began utilizing auto exposure bracketing (AEB) in my 10 month old Canon EOS Rebel T5i, my very first DSLR. I wasn't very good at it, and am sometimes appalled at the cartoony look of my first HDR images, but I got better as the years ticked by, and a decade later, I rarely shoot anything other than HDR.
I always had a wide angle "attachment" to my Sony Cybershot, my camera for the previous 8 years. In December 2015 I got my first wide angle lens for the DSLR.
Here is a newly processed photo taken on my very first "Photo Expedition" with my then brand new Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens.
I love to shoot as wide as possible, esp. when attempting to get tall buildings in the shot.
This morning (01/13/2025), I'm awaiting the delivery of my NEW wide angle lens, a Canon RF10-20mm F4 L IS STM. I've been using the previous lens, with an EF mount and an adapter, on my first full frame camera with an RF mount, the EOS R from 2020, and now the EOS R5. The lens I get today uses the RF mount and allows usage of the full area of the 45MP sensor. I've waited over a year for the lens to become available on Canon's website. It sold out almost as soon as it was introduced. I'm pretty excited.
From Wikipedia: "Registered historic building located on Broadway in downtown Long Beach, California, USA. The eight-story Beaux Arts building was one of the largest office buildings in downtown Long Beach when it opened in 1925. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003."

Again, a shame that there is no credit given to who did the wonderful illustrations on this Metropolitan Life Insurance pamphlet. I'd like to think that the jolly illustrations made for lighter reading on serious issues like illnesses, hearing problems, bad eyesight, cancer. Anything to take your mind off, I guess.
Farmers' Insurance announced it has become the first auto insurer in the nation to offer a five percent discount to customers who drive hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles. Councilmembers Wendy Greuel, Eric Garcetti, Jan Perry and Tom LaBonge with Kevin Kelso of Farmers'Insurance. Oct. 17, 2005.
As it was full moon I stayed local again and went to this house i've been meaning to go to for a while now.
Apparently an insurance scam gone wrong, a guy burnt down his own house for the insurance and they wouldn't pay out.
Now I believe it has been sold off at auction, bought by a developer, it will be knocked down and a few new houses to be built in its place, such a shame people get greedy.

'Roid Week April 2025 - Day 6 #1
I've had to go to Sebring FL three times in the past few weeks. Two hours away. It's where I lived when I moved here to The City Beautiful. I still owned a villa there, which I thought had been carefully rented for the past three years. It had not been cared for whatsoever. I was in the process of evicting the tenants for other reasons when Hurricane Irma came smashing through Highlands County the week before they were to vacate.
The City of Sebring sewer and water backed up into my villa. In addition to wind damage to the front porch and roof. Needless to say, aarrgghhh!
So $4,000 later, I at least got the wet stuff remediated by a wonderful Christian company (I used to go to church with them) and signed up with my new Christian real estate agent to sell this at last.
It's a God thing, and to make a long story shorter, this week was my last trip down to my trashed house. I got a very generous contract to purchase "as is" my tiny little villa in the hood. I was saved in this town almost eleven years ago, and my heart has been broken this past month. But I am counting my many, many blessings.
I'm still waiting for FEMA to show up and inspect (no hurricane coverage with my insurance) the damage before closing the sale.
Anyway, this is a shot of the Sebring Diner (one of my favorite places to eat there) with the telltale ravages of Hurricane Irma showing in the signage.
So lots of tears but I'm again on the mend from yet another heartache.
Counting my blessings and thankful for many things.
well a girl just doesn't know when trouble will come her in 1940s Europe better safe than sorry,
Having a mess around with my WW2 look even did my own hair do. Not totally happy with hair but the idea works and I really should stay blond.
I've done a few photos with look and I will be posting the best of a bad bunch over the next few days.
Would love to go to a 40s event dressed like this.
Even yet you’re profitable for homeowners insurance , we substantially wish we won’t have to use it. Short of a break-in, bursting pipes, or a kitchen inferno, we mainly will go years though wanting to ring adult your agent.
Sometimes you find a location that is just your sort of thing and the Allianz Arena in Munich was one such place for me. As the sun goes down the lights on the outside of the stadium come on – ideal for a silhouette type shot. This is a black and white version of a shot from a while back, I’m on a bit of a black and white phase at the moment!
I went to the bank for my usual transactions and met Marianne, an insurance agent—a friendly girl with an easy smile. She doubled as receptionist and was more than willing to explain insurance and other investment opportunities the bank had to offer. She has been in the bank for 6 months. She's into sports and loves to watch the sunset.

Built in 1977, this arena used to be called the "Cumberland County Civic Center" prior to the trend where all such arenas and sports venues are now named for some big business sponsor. Not a fan of this trend, but I get why it happened - and that it was likely necessary to keep such facilities afloat. It is the home of the Maine Mariners (hockey team), and like many similar facilities, it doubles as a concert venue.
Photo taken with an Olympus XA2 zone focus film camera using Ilford HP5 Plus black and white film. Camera note: it's been a while since I had owned an XA2 - not sure why I sold off my last one some years back, but it's a fantastic little zone focus point and shoot. So this copy is new to me and arrived in great working condition from an upstanding eBay seller. The one thing I can't test until running film through it is proper exposure, and boy did it pass the test with flying colors - the entire roll was perfectly exposed. Note to self, Bob, KEEP THIS ONE!!

Long covid demolished the life I knew. I am trying now for disability and hoping to keep my home. I am in pain every second of every day. No health insurance because I had it through my 21-year public teaching position, and when I had to leave that job, I lost my insurance. I couldn't afford the $1k a month that COBRA would have set me back. I can't begin to afford marketplace insurance. I used my savings to survive financially the past few years. My pension is there, but I'm not old enough to access it; nor will it be remotely enough to live on if I can get Teacher's Retirement Disability. Every day is a struggle to continue. I can get basic care at a wonderful local clinic, but even something like a cortisone shot requires me to go elsewhere. And in order to qualify financially for that shot, I'd already need to be on disability.
This illness is one of many, including chronic Lyme and ME/CFS (the latter of which I probably actually do have now, along with osteoarthritis and asthma) that is poorly understood and often dismissed because it's an "invisible" illness that, on a tolerable day, isn't always evident to observers.
The US needs health care reform in an immediate and sweeping way. I'm not counting on it, though. I truly don't know what will happen.
This book is a really powerful account of what it's like for those of us living with invisible illnesses and disabilities.
Technology arrives in the world of the insurance claim. One small bump in a car park, and a few photos later the repair is approved.
Most of it would polish out, and a bit of coloured tape makes the rear light legal, but the bent and cracked plastic bumper means a trip to the body shop. And that means an insurance claim.
This abstract is made up of just two photos, the rear light, and my reflection whilst photographing the VIN , buried under the wipers and windscreen.
